Rot, blau, gelb

Hello.
These days, I don't want to eat anything.
(....No no no, I often eat ice cream and chocolate and drink something cold a lot.)

I will be sick in the near future:-P
Please help me!!!

Today, I want to talk about color of food!!!

I love color!! I get excited when I see colorful or vivid things.
I would like to study color. (but I haven't studied it at all)




In fact, we get messages from color of food.
I think I may get motivation when I eat red kimchi.



Red: gives Passion, Fighting Spirit, motivation
so it is useful before a game or an important event??
(Tomato, Red Pepper, Apple etc.)

Pink: is the image color of Love, Softness, Tenderness
so it is good when you cook dish for someone you love??
(Peach, Salmon, shrimp etc.)

Orange: gives Vitality and Hapiness
Orange food makes you feel like eating a lot or communicating someone
(Orange, Carrot, Pumpkin etc.)

Yellow: gives Confidence
it is useful when you want to be refleshed or reduce stress
(Lemon, Egg, Corn etc.)

Green: is the image color of Nature and Healthiness
it is good when you want to relax or when you are busy
(Lettuce, Cucumber, Kiwi etc.)

Violet: is the image color of Nobleness
Violet food is good when you want to get inspiration or think something deeply
(Egg plant, Purple potato, Blueberry etc.)

Blue: is the image color of Peace and Trust
(There may be no Blue food around us)

I have heard blue spoils our appetite.
Then, it is good for people who want to lose weight to wear sunglasses whose lenses are blue.

I may get some massages from food without noticing, and I thought I can use food color in order to express my feeling. When I want to build good relation with someone again after a quarrel, eating green dish with that person might be helpful.

Sweets are usually colorful. Amrican food is colorful.


However, it is not good to have colorful food which contains a lot of food additives.
You should enjoy natural food color like fruits and vegetables.

In fact, I like vivid and crazy color food used much coloring.
Besides, I get energy from it because it is so cute!
So, so I enjoy just watching it and I don't eat it.


Ummm, I need Yellow food now because I'm under a lot of stress of job hunting!!!!
Tomorrow, I had better bite the whole lemon.

You also have experience you got energy from color.









What color of food do you need now???

Suits is not clothes to wear in summer

Hello!! It was very very very hot today!!!!

Unfortunately, I had to wear my suit today....

I sweated from my head to toe. What a terrible job hunting student I was.




I got tired because of hot weather, so I felt like eating something sweet.

Then, I bought a package of Cafe Latte. I often buy this because this is sweet, creamy.

This drink is suitable for my childish sense of taste! You can buy 130 yen:-D

I recommend this to you~!

By the way, why people want to eat something sweet when they are tired???

There is a reason why we want sweets.

When we use our brains or bodies, glucose is used. Blood sugar level falls dawn.

On that time, our brains want sugar, so we want to eat sweets automatically.

Sugar turns into glucose in our bodies quickly after we take sugar, and gulcose helps our brain.

When we use our brain, eating sweets is one of the best ways to relax.

However, when we exercise, that way is not the best one. Having carbohydrate is better.

Not only sugar(glucose), but also Vitamin B1 is needed in order to move our bodies.

Sweets don't contain enough Vitamin B1, but carbohydrate(especially, brown rice bread) contains enough glucose and Vitamin B1.

When you got tired, what do you want to eat??

(You don't want to eat sweet!?)

Actually, when I really get tired physically, I may not want to eat bread or rice:-P

I eat an ice cream, drink a cup of juice. (Then there is no space in my stomach for dinner.)

Besides, I think the best way to charge my energy is sleeping!!

Sleeping makes me forget bad things happened on that day. Of course, I can get energy to be fine tomorrow. I love sleeping!!!

Oh, this is food blog!!!

What is the food which rescues you from awful tiredness??

I wanna fly to Hawaii

Hello!! It was sunny today!!

Please end the rainy season quickly...:-P












Today, I watched DVD which title was "Honokaa Boy".

Do you know this film??









This movie's location is Hawaii island.






I love Hawaii!!!( but, I have never been to Hawaii island)


I love the atmosphere.


I love the combination of ocean's brilliant blue and coconuts trees' vivid green.




This movie story passes slowly, so I relaxed so much.









There is what I want to eat in Hawaii. That is "Malasada".




In this movie, Malasada appeared. At a cinema, home-made Malasada was sold.

I have been to Hawaii, but I didn't know the exist of Malasada.

Perhaps, I knew it because recently a famous Japanese model introduced it on TV.

Malasada is a sweet like Japanese fried bread(agepan) or fried donuts. In Hawaii, it is so popular.
Taste of sugar and soft texture make it delicious. (maybe:-9)







Malasada was made in Portugal, and Portuguese immigrant brought it to Hawaii.
(There is suprising connections between countries, isn't there?)



Those days, catching whales was active in Europe, so Portuguese came to Hawaii to get whales.








In catholicism, there is a rule that people must finish thier sugar and butter before Easter's previous 40 days. On the 41 day before Easter, there is a custom eating something fried. Then, people made a lot of Malasada, held a party and enjoy eating it.

By the way, we can eat Malasada in Japan, we can make it by ourselves.

In Yokohama, kanagawa prefecture, there is a Malasada shop "Leonard's"
Leonard's is popular in Hawaii. (Of course there is Leonard's in Hawaii, too)

Here is recipe!! "Malasada Recipe:: Food Network"
www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/follow-that-food/malasadas-recipe/index.html

I'm sorry, but I haven't made it by myself yet.

Ingredients are simple, but it looks difficult to make it. We need technique like making bread.
I wanna challenge someday!! However, going to Yokohama is easier than cooking it.

Actually, I want eat it in Hawaii....!!!!

Watch Honokaa Boy and Try Malasada!!!!!

Chef Remy in Paris

Guten Tag!
It's June 1 today!! Oh, time passes so quickly.

Today, I watched a DVD at home.

Do you know this famous Disney rat?? (not mouse)

(c) Disney / Pixar. All rights reserved.

Yes, he is Remy!! As you already know, I watched "Ratatouille"(Remy's oishi restaurant)
I love PIXAR movies because their pictures are colorful.

One of PIXAR movies is this movie.

(c) Disney / Pixar. All rights reserved.

Have you ever watched this movie??

I'll tell you the story of this movie.

Paris-France

There is a restaurant ' GUSTEAU's RESTAURANT' in Paris.

Gusteau is a five star chef, and nobody don't know him all over the world. The book "Anyone Can Cook!" he published is best seller.

There is a rat who has a highly developed sense of taste and smell. His name is Remy.

He dreams that he becomes a chef in the future. He also respects Gusteau because Gusteau believes anyone can cook. (Remy is a rat, but it does not matter.)

One day, he meets a man whose name is Linguini. He is an unskilled chef, so his dish is terrible.

Linguini notices that Remy has a talent for cooking. He need a job, but he can't cook well. Remy can cook well. That is why they cooperate with each other to cook.

(c) Disney / Pixar. All rights reserved.

Linguini cook with Remy put on his head. It is a big problem that there is a rat in a kitchen, so Remy is hidden in Linguini's chef hat.

How Remy and Linguini's life is going???

My favorite phrase in this movie is "Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere."

Uh, this sentence is difficult to understand. Actually, I don't know the meaning of this phrase.

I think this sentence tells that if we challenge a lot of things, we will find potentiality for something. Everyone has something special and something different from other people have.

We have unlimited capacity!!! ......Where is my capacity????

By the way, in this movie the key food is Ratatouille.

I have never eaten this food. This food is French home cooking.

Zucchini, eggplant, tomato and paprika are stewed. I thought ingredients are different from Japanese food.(COOL!) We don't use zucchini in daily cooking.

What is a home cooking for Japanese? Niku-jaga?

I'm sorry that topics went here and there.

If you have time, you should watch this movie!!!
